"Shohei Ohtani has reached Barry Bonds territory when it comes to going to any of his stat pages and just laughing while you scroll and look at the absurd numbers he's been able to put up. So here are some special stats: Sarah Langs of MLB shared out that Ohtani has won MVP in each of his first two seasons with a team and he's now only the second player in baseball history to accomplish such a feat. The first one was Roger Maris when he pulled it off in 1960 and 1961 with the Yankees. Ohtani has also won the MVP Award in unanimous fashion for the fourth time. He's in a category of his own there, as he's the only MVP in history to win the award unanimously multiple times."
"Meanwhile, Aaron Judge ended up earning his third career MVP Award in a very close race. He joins 12 other players in winning the MVP Award on three different occasions and he definitely had to work for this one. The BBWAA voters gave Judge 17 first-place votes and 13 second-place votes, which was good enough to just eke out the Award win over Cal Raleigh, who earned 13 first-place votes and 17 second-place votes."
Shohei Ohtani earned the National League MVP unanimously, marking his fourth unanimous MVP and making him the only player to win unanimous MVP multiple times. Ohtani also became the second player ever to win MVP in each of his first two seasons with a team, joining Roger Maris. Aaron Judge won his third American League MVP in an extremely close vote, receiving 17 first-place and 13 second-place ballots. Cal Raleigh received 13 first-place and 17 second-place votes and played a major role in returning the Mariners to the postseason. Judge posted a 204 wRC+ during the season.
